Home team Masks

Motisola McKinnon, Competency Specialist with Command University at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility in Bremerton, Washington, hangs "Home Team" masks to dry after they were laundered. An April 5, 2020, mandate from then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper required anyone on Department of Defense property to use a protective facemask. Pre-cut, patterned materials and instructions were provided to volunteers who had access to a sewing machine and a pair of scissors in order to produce masks quickly and efficiently. More than 100 volunteers from the shipyard offered to help sew, including employees like McKinnon who were teleworking and joined the cause to assemble masks.
